NORWICH – Newly elected City of Norwich Mayor Shawn Sastri addresses the residents of Norwich with his first opening remarks as Mayor at Monday night’s common council meeting.

“My goal for this year is to encourage open communication. I want to hear from city employees, I also want to hear from city taxpayers who have any concerns. I want you to contact me directly to speak about it. My cell phone number is 607-316-4013. I can be reached at mayor@norwichnewyork.net and my office number is 607-334-1201. I will be posting office hours on the city's Facebook page shortly. I want to collaborate with everyone and share concerns. I feel direct open communication is the best way to make progress, and I encourage that from all of you. Thank you.”
